Re: Number of files scanned by Anti Virus

Counts can be varying because of file and folder exclusions (and by directories and file extensions): either by user or by the scanner (many areas that can be omitted without any security issues).
However....
Usually different counts indicated by different scanners are from the contents of certain files and archives, etc ...executibles contain several or many files, thus one executible can be seen as "one" file or "many" files by different scanners and the counts. Archives can be the same - "one" archive or "many" file contained in the archive - is it one archive scanned or many file within the archive.
